Fish is the most luxurious food in Xisha City. The price of a lively fresh grass carp here can be sold for tens of gold, or even over a hundred. Lulkaf Kobochin lay lazily on his big chair, mouthing
I was eating deliciously grilled fish, and the servants and maids were waiting behind me at any time, helping to bring juice and handkerchiefs.
"Well, today's fish was grilled well. It reminds me of the time I spent with my friends before I became rich."
The two thick beards as thick as silkworms were stained with the spices on the grilled fish, but Koboqin didn't care at all. He nodded with satisfaction, and the fragrant fish left an endless aftertaste in his mouth.
The chef who was grilling fish next to him bowed and said happily: "Mr. Lurkav's appreciation is my greatest honor. If you still need it, I will grill another one for you."
"Yeah, okay." A fish was quickly chewed under Cobochin's mouth until only the skeleton was left. He licked his lips and seemed to be unsatisfied, urging the chef to grill it again.
At this time, the housekeeper suddenly ran over, holding a letter in his hand, and ran over screaming: "No, no, no, master, it's...he's here again!"
"What?" Kobochin wiped his mouth with a towel, took the letter in the butler's hand and looked at it. His face suddenly changed color, and he shouted hurriedly: "Quick...quickly call them over."
…
To say that the largest household in Xisha City is the Manor of Kobochin, Alice walked along the high courtyard wall for a long time without completely turning around the entire manor. She came to the gate of the manor,
Looking at the solid metal gate and the seven or eight heavily guarded guards in front of it, it feels like they are guarding a royal palace.
"Little girl, what are you looking at? If you have nothing to do, don't stand in front of the door and look around. Walk around, walk around, and walk away." The guard guarding the door saw Alice standing in front of the door looking around for a long time without leaving, and came forward a little unhappy.
coax.
Alice said: "I'm just taking a look, there's no need to be like this."
"What's there to see?" The guard impatiently pushed Alice away and said, "This is not the place you should be. If you don't want to get into trouble, leave quickly, otherwise I will be rude to you."
"Don't push me." Alice avoided the push, but was driven far away by the guards. She thought to herself: "If I express my intentions directly, I'm afraid I won't be able to say a few words and I'll be kicked out. Before.
I still thought about using violence to intimidate, but it seems that it is not possible now." She paced back and forth under the tree, and thought to herself: "I just saw that the guards looked nervous, as if something was going on. And although this manor is
It's very big, but you don't need so many seven or eight guards to guard a side door. Could something happen inside the manor? Hmm..." She thought for a while, then looked up at the manor wall in the distance: "In this case, I might as well
Let’s go to the manor to find out what’s going on before we make any plans.”
It was night, the lights were brightly lit in Lurkav's manor, and in the hall room of the main building, besides Lurkav Kobochin, there were more than twenty people gathered around here.
"Here it comes again, here it comes again!" Kobochin said "Here it comes again" three times in a row, but his expression was very nervous. He looked at everyone, holding in his hand the letter he received in the evening.
Trembling, showing great fear.
"Sir, don't worry. I have deployed twice as many officers and soldiers to guard here tonight. As long as the murderer dares to show up again, he will not escape our sight." The person who spoke was wearing a military uniform and should be the local security chief.
"Really?" Koboqin glanced coldly, obviously not believing what he said: "Huh, last time you said you would definitely catch the murderer, but now? The murderer is still killing people, but you don't even know who the murderer is.
I don’t know. I really raised a bunch of useless trash!”
The Sheriff's face turned red and he was very embarrassed. He couldn't say anything to defend himself, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.
At this time, several people came out of the crowd. It was Jennifer and her party who came with Alice. Jennifer stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Sir Lurkav, we already understood the general situation of the matter during the day, that is,
He said that the murderer would write you a letter every time before killing someone, warning of his next murder plan. And in the past two months, the murderer has killed nine servants in the manor, right?"
"It's not just servants." Butler Ivo said: "Last month, the master's adopted son was also brutally murdered by a murderer. His ultimate goal was to kill the master."
"Oh?" Jennifer was confused: "Since the murderer has entered the manor several times to kill, why did he do this? Why not attack Mr. Sir directly?"
"This..." Ivo, the housekeeper, took out a letter from the small bag he was carrying and handed it to Jennifer: "Look at this, this is the letter left by the murderer before the second murder. The letter said that he wanted to
To make the master afraid, to make the master die in endless fear."
Jennifer read the letter and handed it to Lucas: "Oh, it's also a threat."
"Yes."
Kachinfu said to everyone: "The reason why I spent a lot of money to invite you all the way here is that I hope you can catch this murderer for me, so that I will not be worried day and night. Now this murder notice has been sent again.
Now, what do you think we should do? This murderer does not kill on a regular basis. He may not kill tonight, or not, but as long as the letter is delivered, he will definitely kill..."
Outside the house, Alice, who was wearing a white hat and had lost her figure, was leaning against the wall quietly, listening to the voices in the house, and thinking to herself: "It turns out that something like this happened in the manor, no wonder the guards here are
There are so many, and all of them are nervous. The murderer..."
Alice was just thinking about something when she suddenly heard a shout from nearby.
"Who's there? Come out!"
This shout came suddenly, and Alice suddenly realized that she saw a black shadow pulling out a knife and rushing towards her. She quickly left the wall of the room, flew up and kicked the person with her legs, but the person in the darkness turned around and turned over with great skill.
Suddenly, he grabbed her left ankle. Alice was startled, she spun around in the air, kicked away the incoming knife with her right foot, and lightly hooked the toe of her left foot, touching the opponent's wrist.
"Yeah!" The other party let go, and both of them were shocked.
At this time, the people in the hall had already rushed out. Seeing that the situation was not good, Alice immediately ran away.
"Where are the people? Where are they?"
"Chase, don't let him run away!"
Noisy sounds were made at the same time. Some people were still looking for Alice, while others were already chasing her.
"The opponent is invisible, protect Jazz!"
There were many shadows in the dark night, either chasing or protecting them, but they gradually calmed down after a while.
The pursuer came back: "Damn it, let him run away!"
"Didn't you catch him? Did you see the other party clearly?" Butler Ivo asked quickly.
The person who came back shook his head: "No, the other party has been invisible all the time. Although the guards in the manor released the hunting dogs, they still let him run away."
"Oh, what a pity!" Ivo stamped his feet in annoyance.
"What's a pity?" Jennifer suddenly said: "This person is not a murderer, so what's a pity?"
"That's right, this person won't be a murderer." A man with short blond hair, dressed in a straight suit, was playing with a nail clipper in his hand while talking and trimming his nails.
Kobochin was surprised: "What are you talking about Mr. Nisim? Do you think this man is not the murderer?"
"Yes, although the other party is sneaky and invisible, there is no way he is the murderer."
Kobochin was puzzled: "Why?"
Nissim put down the manicure knife and explained: "The murderer has already killed people in the manor nine times. This shows that the real murderer is a master who can come and go freely in the manor. Although the man just now has good skills, he has not yet
You can come and go freely, otherwise you won't be discovered by the guards in the manor."
Butler Ivo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. The person who discovered the suspicious person just now is Mr. Brad. He is one of the best guards in the manor. His strength... his strength is extraordinary."
"Oh?" Nissim looked at Brad who was chasing him up and down, and then said: "I haven't finished what I said. There is also a second point. The murderer committed nine murders before. Since his purpose was to intimidate Sir,
Let Sir live in fear all day long, so why didn't he do it this time? Although there are many guards in the manor now, but the manor is so big, it is not particularly difficult for him to kill one or two servants and cause panic. Why not this time?
But he wanted to sneak up near the main house. Did he want to assassinate Jazz when there were the most people protecting him? There is also the third and most important point. When I chased him out just now, the invisible suspicious person was coming in front of me.
As I ran by, I smelled a faint fragrance in the wind that this person was running by. This fragrance was not an ordinary scent, but the unique body fragrance of a young girl, and it was the body fragrance of a virgin. According to my intuition, a ten
A girl of several years old who is still a virgin cannot possibly be a murderer who does such a sneaky thing."
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Although they felt that the previous two points he said made sense, the last point was too unreliable and they didn't know how to respond.
After hearing this, Brad thought about it and nodded: "Yes, I fought with that person just now and caught that person's ankle. The other person was wearing leather boots, but he felt that the other person's feet were very soft, and they were a woman's feet.
, and not an adult woman.”
Sheriff Binks said: "So, just as Mr. Nissim said, the other party should be a teenage girl, maybe... a virgin. And no one seems to think that this girl is a murderer.
The murderer must be someone else, and his murder plan may happen at any time, so everyone should be careful and think of ways to catch the murderer as soon as possible."
